    Look, we could argue over semantics all day (well I know I could), but it's time for some logical reasoning! The facts:

    -I saw a film (today oh boy) where someone calling himself Jude sung songs, and as far as I could tell didn't have some other singer dub in his own voice for the song-singing portions
    -Jude is a character in the film Across the Universe, not an actor
    -The singing voice belonging to Jude the character was lovely

    Therefore, the character Jude has a lovely voice.

    Yes, but (oooooooohhh) the character Jude is fictional, and therefore doesn't actually own anything. This includes his body, mind, an also voice. The only thing really his is his personality, which, as a fictional character, really isn't that developed anyways and is still controlled by the actor.

    Oh come (together right) now (over me)! The fact that a fictional character's perceivable attributes are rooted in another individual's actions has no bearing on whether they also belong to the character! A character is defined by its attributes. Mish could easily have said she liked the way Jude dresses (presumably the actor doesn't normally dress the same way), and you'd have no right to argue because Jude did indeed dress that way... unless you disagreed with the sentiment, of course.

    When discussing characters in media (novels, films, etc.) use present tense. i.e. "Jude does dress well in the film," would be correct. Meanwhile, "Jude did dress well in the film," would not. You did this correctly in one sentence and incorrectly in the following, meaning you also have conflicting tenses. That's just poor, poor baseball.

    My tenses were spot on, you hideous fool. "Mish could easily have said she liked the way Jude dresses" in general (present tense). "Jude did indeed dress that way" in that film she saw (past tense). The past tense was referring to a viewing of the film that occurred in the past.

    Meh... I really can't agree with your sentiments on fictional characters with property, but ok.
